My name is Richard. I've worked in the Video Games industry for just over 20 years, but ever since that picture of a 930 turbo on my childhood bedroom wall, I've always loved cars.
Having lived and worked all over the world I've seen the increase in cars and coffee meets and organised car clubs. What there are less of, are places where they can go and be with others who love cars, share that love and be looked after.
I'm a seasoned leader, I've been part of building companies in the hundreds and beyond for other people in my last industry, this time I want to build it for myself and those who I work with. I believe there's a great opportunity to create jobs, and bring together people who work in motor related businesses to create a special car culture location in a special place.
This won't be something that reaches its full potential alone, I'd love to hear from those who can support, mentor or be in some way a part of the journey. I'd be delighted to hear from you.
Cornwall is a beautiful place, with fantastic driving roads and lots of reasons to visit.
Creating a car hub in Cornwall that integrates events, food, car sales, storage, and maintenance offers a unique, multi-faceted destination that caters to both car enthusiasts and the general public. Here’s why it’s a compelling proposition:
Tourism & Local Appeal: Cornwall is a popular tourist destination with a strong local community. A car hub would attract visitors and locals alike, combining leisure (events, food) with practical services (sales, maintenance, storage), creating a year-round revenue stream.
Niche Market Opportunity: Car enthusiasts are a passionate and loyal demographic. By hosting car-related events (e.g., rallies, shows, auctions), the hub becomes a cultural hotspot, drawing crowds and fostering a sense of community.
Convenience & One-Stop Solution: Offering car sales, maintenance, and storage under one roof provides convenience for customers, positioning the hub as a go-to destination for all car-related needs.
Economic Boost: The hub would create jobs, support local businesses (e.g., food vendors, suppliers), and stimulate the local economy, aligning with Cornwall’s growth goals.
Brand Differentiation: A car hub with a focus on experience (events, food) and practicality (sales, maintenance) stands out in the market, I am to create a unique selling proposition that competitors can’t easily replicate.
By blending entertainment, convenience, and community, the car hub becomes more than just a business—it becomes a landmark destination that drives engagement, loyalty, and long-term success.
